Such is Cauvin’s lie.
What is Cauvin’s lie?
Think of it this way. We are told to worship God, and to worship God alone, with all our heart and mind. If you don’t have a relationship with God and do something “good,” it isn’t completely good, and it can’t be a “good work” in a Christian sense because you are sinning by ignoring God throughout your life. No action is good because you are breaking the first commandment throughout your life and in all actions.
